Pre-University Career Clarification Model for the YKS (University Entrance Examination)

Know Yourself, Narrow Your Options, and Design Your Future with Purpose

The university selection process is much more than choosing a major. It is a journey of self-discovery in which students explore their interests, talents, values, and life goals to build a future that genuinely fits who they are.

The Pre-University Career Clarification Model for the YKS is a three-stage discovery program designed to help students make informed, systematic, and personally meaningful decisions about their university majors and future careers.

Stage 1: Discovery

The goal of this stage is to help students understand themselves better and recognize their potential.

✅ Mapping personal interests and areas of curiosity
✅ Identifying flow experiences and areas of natural engagement
✅ Creating an energy and motivation profile
✅ Discovering strengths and natural tendencies

Stage 2: Elimination

This stage helps students filter out unsuitable options and gain greater clarity about their direction.

✅ Narrowing down compatible majors and career fields
✅ Evaluating the influence of prestige and popularity perceptions
✅ Analyzing family expectations and external pressures
✅ Reassessing options based on personal priorities and values

Stage 3: Deepening

The purpose of this stage is to strengthen decision-making through real-life experiences and structured exploration.

✅ One-day simulations of three different professions
✅ A framework for researching and evaluating university majors
✅ Job shadowing experiences and professional observation activities
✅ Developing a personalized career roadmap and action plan
